If you follow this route, just make sure you complete your CS-related courses after your UMPI degree is conferred.

Actually, UMPI would be the easiest for a second degree because you only need to do the 30 credit residency requirement 1 time. After that, you just have to complete whatever courses are needed for the next degree. At UMPI, you don't need to do any extra credits besides whatever you can transfer in. My understanding is that TESU requires 24 credits for an additional bachelors. As for OP, do the BLS now, and wait for the Computer Science degree that is coming to UMPI. Do as many Coursera/Study.com courses as you can that would apply to the degree plan, and you may be able to do the entire degree without doing any additional courses at UMPI. Happy Learning!

As it currently stands, you do not need 24 additional RA credits for each bachelors, if that's what you mean. You do need to have most of your credits for each major to not overlap--so for example It would be tough to get both a Bachelor of Arts and liberal studies in psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in psychology because too many of the courses overlap. And I believe most of the credits from your new major should not have counted toward your previous degree. But right now I am working toward a BA in psychology and a BA in biology for the same graduation date and there's no issue with that.

That said, the communications degree is very difficult to get from Thomas Edison through alternative credits. I wouldn't recommend it unless they are getting financial assistance through the military or something like that. UMPI is a better choice for people without that type of assistance who are looking for an inexpensive comms degree.
